Colo. police arrest man whose son jumped from car

Colorado Springs police have arrested a man suspected of threatening officers who were with his son when the young man jumped from a moving police car and was hit by another vehicle, suffering fatal injuries.

Lt. Lari Sevene of the El Paso County sheriff's office tells The Gazette that 43-year-old John P. Winkler was arrested Thursday after allegedly making threats. She says he was arrested on a warrant out of Oklahoma.

Winkler's son, 20-year-old John R. Winkler of Colorado Springs, died Tuesday. Police say officers were taking him to jail when he jumped out of a police car going about 60 mph. They say he was hit by another car while running across Interstate 25 and died from his injuries.
